So, this has happened....

[layzellm]

I started my C25K journey 19 months ago, weighing 15st, after my second heart attack.

Since then, I have:

Completed C25K.

Run 182 times.

Covered over 720 miles.

Sunday will be my first half marathon.

I still weigh about 15st, but I feel a lot healthier

C25K has changed my life in a lot of ways. I believe I can achieve things, having stuck with something for so long. I hope to be back next year with a full marathon run under my belt...

Keep going. Ignore the pace/time taken. Use this forum to share ups and downs...we've all been there!

What a fantastic, positive post! Well done and thanks for inspiring another overweight (well obese actually!) runner to keep going 🙏

OK, full disclosure... I ended up completing the half marathon in a time of 2 hrs 40... which was a little slower than I hoped, and I did have to walk a couple of times in the last few miles.

I have another half planned on the 5th Sept... going to try and run the whole thing!

Strava results for a half marathon...
